I really wanted to write a book [99: Stories of the Game] on the tradition and history of the league, where kids can pick it up and read it and learn things and say, Geez, I didn't know that. That's pretty cool.

I just like to keep my money in the bank I'm not a big risk-taker. I don't know anything about the stock market... I stay away from things I don't know anything about.
